Sagittal STIR (a) and axial proton density-weighted MR images with fat saturation (b, c) showing extensive post-exercise edema within the soleus muscle in an Australian Rules football player. The edema is centered around the myotendinous junctions, demonstrating a geographically emarginated distribution (arrows). The patient played an entire game 2 days after this MRI.
